Hoisin-glazed meatballs with spicy coleslaw

If I told you that hoisin sauce turns everything into heavenly bites, I’d probably sound like a bad commercial. And yet…

Who hasn’t found themselves squeezing it over nearly everything? If you haven’t, then you don’t know what you’re missing out on! While it’s not my favourite condiment (hello lime pickle!), glazing your meats with hoisin, or adding it to your meatball mix, will keep them moist and yummy.

Lime pickle is another favourite of mine, because it’s sour and salty. I like adding it to rich dressings, such as mayonnaise, to give them some oomph. Or mash into some avocado for a quick guacamole.

And the good news is, because lime pickle is slightly spiced, it pairs very well with hoisin.

This Asian-inspired salad can be made ahead, and if you don’t have minced lamb, any minced meat will do.
